2) The Hundreds of Still Unanswered Questions, the Scores of Documented Lies

- For many, the most troubling aspect of 9/11 these many months after the 9/11 Commission closed up shop is how ignorant we still really are.

Although the Commission was to provide the full and final explanation of the tragedy, they never even addressed let alone answered more than 70% of the victim family questions that Commissioners initially promised would be their "road map."

Vital questions about surviving "hijackers," the bizarre WTC 7 collapse, the bin Laden/Pak/CIA relationship, the Afghan gas pipeline, known Bush/Cheney/Rice lies, which US parties, corporations and agencies profited most from 9/11, and countless more all remain unanswered to this day.

Although this ignorance abides, we have discovered many instances where our leaders flatly lied. Consider Bush insisting he saw the first WTC strike on television, Rice saying the August 6 "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US" presidential briefing contained only "historical info," Cheney's incessant Iraq/Al Qaeda linkage mantra or the dozens of other examples listed Here!.

This pattern of deception went unchallenged by the public and mainstream press, and soon extended to the Iraq war marketing effort and most neocon policy spin today. The quite apparent lesson is that if you can repeatedly get away with 9/11 lies, you can now lie with impunity about damn near anything.
